Ratings and Reviews
Very useful app, but…
I installed and use the app for my scientific research. It works well, but there are a few things that would massively improve the usability of the app. 1. Add notes to the pdf view, not in the pdf, but on the side, like the references panel. That way, I can nite my thoughts on the article without having to open the pdf in a later stage. 2. Add an undo button to the pdf viewer. I sometimes mark something, write a line. A simple undo would make life easier. 3. Add possibility to move files to folders or lists, from the main panel. Drag and drop would be great. Also, add the hierarchy to the lists in the pdf viewer. 4. Our university has a vpn/portal online. Add the option to use this to download PDFs. Now I bump into the paywalls. Also, add the option to open a page in safari, so I don’t have to manually search for it when I bump into such paywall.
Eraser needed
An eraser is needed, going to the annotations tab and find that one mistake I want to delete is time consuming!
What a downgrade after Papers3
Many gripes:
- authors display as first name last name instead of last name, initials. Really???
- import from safari does not work on iOS
- cite keys don't work in Word plugin
- navigation using keyboard is clunky, shortcuts are silly or don't work on Mac
- search panel is not user friendly, cannot type text and then select that to be a search for a title or author etc. Search UI feels like 1985.
All in all, very disappointing after being forced to move from Papers3. Now considering moving to Zotero.
